A SiC epitaxial wafer includes a SiC substrate and an epitaxial layer laminated on the SiC substrate, wherein the epitaxial layer contains an impurity element which determines the conductivity type of the epitaxial layer and boron which has a conductivity type different from the conductivity type of the impurity element, and the concentration of boron is less than 1.0×10.sup.14 cm.sup.−3 at any position in the plane of the epitaxial layer.

Embodiments described herein relate to a method of epitaxial deposition of p-channel metal oxide semiconductor (MMOS) source/drain regions within horizontal gate all around (hGAA) device structures. Combinations of precursors are described herein, which grow of the source/drain regions on predominantly <100> surfaces with reduced or negligible growth on <110> surfaces. Therefore, growth of the source/drain regions is predominantly located on the top surface of a substrate instead of the alternating layers of the hGAA structure. The precursor combinations include a silicon containing precursor, a germanium containing precursor, and a boron containing precursor. At least one of the precursors further includes chlorine.
